Abstract: The stator winding inter-turn short fault of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is a common motor fault with high probability. If this fault is not detected and handled in time, small initial fault will rapidly develop into other faults such as grounding short, inter-phase short, winding short et al., and even the motor damage. In order to diagnose the inter-turn short fault of PMSM, this paper firstly builds the model of the inter-turn short fault of PMSM, and then proposes a fast and simple fault diagnosis method for extracting the features of the inter-turn short fault under noise. For the first time, by introducing the full-short-circuit resistance Rf that relates with the fault severity factor δ and by estimating the inductance of inter-turn short fault motor on-line according to the three principles of the inductance calculation, which is used in the inter-turn short fault of transformer winding, the inter-turn short analysis model of PMSM is deduced. The model can be used to simulate the performance not only the health of PMSM but also the fault of inter-turn short fault of PMSM in one phase winding. This paper analyses the transient and steady state performance of 3-phase unbalanced current, speed and electromagnetic torque ripple and the relationship between full-short-circuit resistance and short current under fault condition. Finally, a fast and simple on-line fault diagnosis method of PMSM with inter-turn short fault is proposed based on phase sensitive detection (PSD) algorithm. The method uses the fundamental and third harmonic features of inter-turn short fault current. The simulation results show that the model can be well suited for the simulation of PMSM with inter-turn short fault, and the method can effectively extract the features and diagnose the fault.
